PERHAPS YOU WILL THINK ABOUT IT

My thoughts sadly wandered yesterday morning, as I sat in the House of God, while the minister was preaching his sermon. Do your thoughts wander under the sound of the gospel? What if the messenger of the Most High was sent down to close God’s House, and seal up the mouth of His minister. A solemn thought; is it not enough to make us anxiously attentive to every word that is spoken? Perhaps you will think about it.

A short time ago, I kneeled down in a hurried manner, to offer up my morning praises and petitions at the Throne of Grace, and after a few words, hastily rose to pursue some worldly object which absorbed my attention; but my conscience smote me, and told me I had offered an affront to the Lord. Do you ever hurry over your prayers? What if the High and Holy One should issue forth and unchangeable mandate, “Henceforth shall your prayers find no favor at this mercy seat?” What an overwhelming thought! How precious it seems to make a Throne of Grace! Perhaps you will think about it!

The other day I looked at my Bible as it lay on the sideboard, and thought to myself how much I neglected it. Do you ever neglect your Bible? What a lesson it would be if an angel were sent down to seal the leaves, even for twelve months! Perhaps you will think about it!
